Heartless || Choi Beomgyu [✓]

34 ~ Storage

Enhypen and TXT silently snuck away from the party, finding an empty room in the huge house to negotiate.

Not negotiate

Give.

Y/n kept her eyes on the floor as everybody filed in, not wanting to look at anybody at that moment. Although, with the few glimpses she managed to catch, she was certain that she could only count seven pairs of feet from Enhypen.

Once everyone was inside, the two groups separated to two sides of the room. From the looks of it, they were now in some sort of extremely fancy storage room; the only reason for this conclusion being that it had no bed or characteristic furniture, and the floor was lain with a red velvet carpet.

Y/n stood with TXT, still avoiding lifting her eyes from her own feet. She could strongly sense Beomgyu's presence just behind her; maybe his cologne or just her gut.

Soobin spoke first.

"We just have one condition before you take her."

Y/n's head flew up, confused at his unscripted proposal. Looking at her father, Y/n saw his eyebrows raise a little, rather amusedly.

Jeongyoo glanced at the rest of his team and scoffed, as if what was coming out of Soobin's mouth was just the dumbest joke he had ever heard.

"The only condition is us leaving you be, once you give me my daughter."

The absence of a curse word in his sentence made Y/n feel unsettled, leaving a swirling feeling in her stomach.

The leader of TXT took a deep breath and spoke to Jeongyoo in a patient voice.

"Please, let me say it first?"

Jeongyoo's amused grin didn't disappear from his face, but he didn't follow with any snide comments. This was taken as an 'okay'.

"Don't you think Y/n should be allowed to choose who she stays with?"

Jeongyoo opened his mouth to answer, but Soobin continued before a word could leave his lips.

"If we keep her, we could end this rivalry and you'd still get to see her often."

Y/n's father's mouth closed slowly, his expression not really showing thought, but more like he was trying to think of an excuse. If Y/n was being honest, she didn't want to have any contact with her father at all, but she wouldn't mind if it allowed her to stay with TXT.

It was the sudden urge to hug Rina that caused Y/n to realise that she wasn't even in the room.

"You're saying that because you think she'd want to stay with you?"

Jeongyoo spat his words at the leader of TXT with a scoff, sounding so confient that it made Y/n nervous. Based on the expressions of the rest of TXT, they seemed nervous too, for some reason.
